We're obsessed with Selena Gomez in dark, vampy makeup

Usually demure in her makeup choices, Selena Gomez went dark and vampy for a performance in Zenith, Paris

We're used to seeing Selena Gomez with her hair in long, loose curls, and perhaps a slick of mascara with a nude lip - so WHAT FUN it is to see her vamp it up for a performance in Paris last night.

With her hair scraped back into a slick, smooth high ponytail, Selena's features were strongly defined with a heavy dose of dark slap - perhaps one to keep to the stage, rather than try out ourselves for a Saturday night in the pub.

An even dusting of shimmering black shadow was swept up almost to the (strong!) brow line for maximum impact, finished off in a clean line at the same angle as her cheekbones to give her face an extra sharpness - channelling that angular instagram look in real life (do it yourself here).

We're big fans of her plum lip colour, which was paired to match her plum nails - a hot trend colour for our nails this autumn (pick up some colours from the Cosmo Boutique, why dontcha).
